PEACEFUL DEBATE ON
CUBAN RECIPROCITY
Proceedings in the House Devoid of
Enlivening Features Chinese
Bill Discussed.
Hy Kxihwico Wile from The AooLitcd Pre.
Washington, April 10. The debate on
the Cuban reciprocity bill In the house
today was devoid of enlivening feat
ures. The most notable speech of the
day was made by Mr. Grosvenor, of
Ohio. He answered the critics who
have charged him with Inconsistency,
by saying that reciprocity was sound
Republican doctrine and that tariff
schedule's were not sacred. He pre
dicted that the time would come, al
though it had not yet arrived, when
there would be an Inexorable demand
lor revision of the present rates. Mr.
Prince, of Illinois, made a strong
speech against the measure. The
other speakers were Messrs. Lawrence,
of Massachusetts, and Mr. Mlcrs, of
Indiana, tor the bill, and Messrs.
Weeks, of Michigan, and Kleberg, of
Texas, against It.
An effort was made lAte today In the
senate to obtain an agreement for a
vote on the Chinese exclusion bill, but
it was unsuccessful. The indications
now are that the vote will be taken
next Tuesday. The measure was under
discussion during the entire session to
day, except for about an hour. In which
time the pustofUce appropriation bill
was consldeied and passed. Three
speeches were made against thu Chi
nese bill in Its present form, Mr. Dill
ingham, of Veimont, concluding his re
marks, and Mr. Stewart, of Xevudo,
and Mr. Hoar, of Massachusetts, stating
tlielr objections. to the bill. Mr. Stew
art said he would vote for the measure,
If It was the best that could be ob
tained, as lie favored the exclusion of
Chinese laboiers, but he was opposed to
many of Its provisions. Mr. Hoar, with
considerable feeling, announced his vig
orous opposition to the bill, declaring
that he never would vote for It.
Early In the session Mr. Depew, or
Xew York, spoke briefly against the
adoption of the resolution providing for
the election of senators by popular vote.
In effect, he served notice on those
stutes which had limited their suffrage
that if the resolution was enacted a de
mand would be made on them to accord
nil their citizens the right to vote, or
suffer a loss of representatives In con
gress. m

MEASURES FOlT
POLICE REFORM
Proprietor of Freedom Is Charged
with Sedition in Publishing: Ar
ticle from American Journal.
By i:tolule Wiic from The Associated PrcM.
Xew York, April 10. Police Commis
sioner Partridge made n statement to
day In which he said he had been at
work since he assumed ofllce formulat
ing measures for the reform of the
police of this city, but that owing to
the magnitude of the task lie had been
forced to proceed slowly. To achieve
lasting results would require time and
to disclose his plans would prevent
their successful execution. The com
missioner declared that there was no
doubt In his mind that former Chief of
Police Devery still had a powerful in
fluence over the force and that many
men In the department clung to Dev
ery "with apparently an all-abiding
faith." Mr. Partridge said he dared
not trust the captains; some officers In
whom he had reposed conlldence had
betrayed him. The commissioner asks:
"In the whole greut police depart
ment of this city, Is there a man whom
I can absolutely trust?"
Later In the day Commissioner Part
ridge wus summoned to the city hall
by the mayor. After a talk with the
latter the commissioner gave out an
"official" interview which mouifled
what purported to be his former state
ments. He said in part:
"What I said was that the Devery in
fluence was still too prominent in the
department. So it is. What I mean Is
that those eomUtidmrwhlch carry bud
Influence and which were bi ought In
there, I don't say by whom, are still
there. I do not suy that Devery Is
giving orders and dictating appoint
ments and transfers, but I do say that
the subtle Influence which prevailed
under Devery Is still theie."
Colonel Partridge was asked: "Do
you feel that there are many higher
ofllceis In the department who you can
not trust?" and he answered:
"I believe that there are men, there
are many higher ofilciuls who would be
absolutely loyal and honest in helping
me to carry out my Ideas and plans.
There are some who give me no evi
dence of a readiness to suppress vice
und crime."

of Her Experience with ths

INTERESTING STORY
OF HER CAPTIVITY
The brigands Not as Fierce as Might
Have Been Expected They Made
Insulting Remarks, but Never
Misused Miss Stone or Mme.
T3ilka The Baby Proved a Bless

After the Birth of Mme. Tsilka's
Child.
lly i:clusIvo Wire fiom The AiwiUUfl Prew.
New York. April 10. Miss Ellen M.
Stone, the missionary, who was cap
tured by brigands in Bulgaria and held
for ransom, arrived beic today on the
Dputschlund. She looked pale and worn,
and said the sea voyage had made her
very 111. She wus met at the steamer's
pier by her brother, Chnrles A. Stone,
and by many other relatives and
friends.
Miss Stone said the brigands were not
so fierce as might have been imagined.
They said many Insulting things, but
never struck or beat her or her com
panion, Mme. Tsllkn.
"There have been several resorts
printed which staled that Mme. Tsllka
had been held for ransom by our cap
tors," suld Miss Stone, "but that Is tt
mistake. I wus the one they wanted,
and they always take a married lady to
chaperone a single one, no matter how
old tho latter may be. The brignnds
meant to take the first married woman
they came across to accompany me, but
the one they llrst found huppened to be
Mrs. Wosheva, a native missionary and
it widow, who was very ill at the time.
Mrs. Tsllka wus therefore decided on
by the brigands, for which I was very
thankful afterward, and I will tell yon
why.
"Seven weeks before we were released
a baby was born to Mrs. Tsllka. The
brigands had, by this time, become so
insulting and cruel. In their remarks,
that It was becomlus- unbearable. The
appearance of the Imby stopped ull this,
for the reason that the brigands of Tur
key believe that a curse will settle on
them 'if they do harm to, a child or its
mother. Our tieatment after the birth
of the baby was excellent. AVe began
to get better food, although 1 must ad
mit that it was generally very good,
and the sneering remarks stopped.
"It was when the negotiations for our
release fell thiough, or the captors be
came disturbed, that we were subject to
our worst treatment. 'You urn to die
twenty days from now,' or 'we will put
a bullet In your brain soon,' were some
of the pleasant things that they said to
us."
Miss Stone said she would go at once
to Chelsea, Mass., to see her mother,
who Is more than 90 years old.

BRUTAL CRIME
AT DETROIT
A Murdered Girl's Head Is
Mutilated in a Shock
ing Manner.
lly Kieluihe Wire Ir.mi The Aoci.itod Prei.
Detroit. Mich., April 10. What the
police believe to be u strong link In the
chain of circumstantial evidence that
they are weaving about Prof. Joseph
M. Miller, aged 47, a music teacher and
a married man with a family, wh.o Is
under arrest on suspicion of brutally
murdering Miss Carrie M. Jennett on
Thirteenth street. Just before midnight
last night, was discovered this evening.
It is a blood-stained hatchet, which was
found In a drawer of a table in Miller's
kitchen. There is now the1 following
circumstantial evidence against Prof.
Miller, who was the girl's music teacher
and hnd paid her such marked atten
tions that her father had asked him to
keep away from the house:
When he was examined at the Grand
River avenue police station, what are
supposed to be blood-stains were found
on his shirt sleeves, his trousers, shoes,
hut and overcoat; a towel was discov
ered in his kitchen with what are sup
posed to be blood-stains on it; when he
was asked for an explanation of the
stains on his clothing, he gave none;
and finally the blood-stained hatchet
found tonight.
Miss Jennett, who was 22 years of age,
und would huve become a mother In u.
few months, was most brutally done to
death Just before 12 o'clock lust night.
She was felled by a terrific blow on the
head, wldcj.broke Jier, neck,,- and her
throat was'c'ut from'eur'to ear. A blow
from some instrument made u hole In
the m'iddle of her forehead, and behind
her left ear was a deep stab wound,
evidently made by the same instrument
thut was used to cut her throat. In ad
dition to these ghastly wounds, a heavy
blow hud been struck on the side of her
face, fracturing the cheek-bone. Her
mutilated body was found In this con
dition in a lonely spot on Thirteenth
street. It wus taken to the morgue and
not identified until this morning.
Miss Jennett left her home last even
ing to attend a meeting of the Hebeknh
lodge, of which she was a member. She
left the meeting about 10 o'clock and
was not seen aguln alive. Her parents
were alarmed ut her not coming home,
and when they heard of the murder be
came fearful that it might be their
daughter. Mr. Jennett hurried to the
morgue and there Identified the mutil
ated body.
The police were working on the case,
and questioned him ns to the girl. He
told them of her Infatuation for Prof.
Miller and tho teacher wus placed un
der arrest. Miller took the situation
very coolly when he was examined at
the station. Nothing could be learned
from questioning him. He was then
ordered to tuke off his clothes, and on
the shirt the police found blood stains.
Miller offered no explanation of them.
More stains were found on other gar
ments. Miller still maintained abso
lute silence ns to them. It was then
decided to lock him up. While he was
being registered- on the blotter, the
music teacher collapsed and fainted.
He was revived only to faint again us
the officers conducted him to a cell.
Miller left his house last evening to
attend a lodge meeting on Baker; street,
and returned about 11.20 o'clock, appar
ently cool and undisturbed, He alleges
that he did not leave the meeting until
11 oVloek, bu,t , several persons who
were there saythat he left between 10
and 10..TO o'clock. The murder was
committed at live minutes after 11
o'clock, as near as the oflleors can
learn. It would have been possible for
Miller to have gone from the hull on
Raker street to the scene of tho crime
In twenty minutes. This was demon
strated tonight by a reporter,, who
made the trip In sixteen minutes. From
the location of the crime to Miller's
house Is but a comparatively short
wnlk. ,
Tonight, Miller is sleeping like a
child In the Grand niver avenue police
station. Wlillo the police think they
have strong circumstantial evidence
ngnlnst' the suspect, they admit that
they are still far short of enough to
convict him ot the murder. Nothing
can be gained from Miller hy question
Inp. lie simply Insists that ho knows
nothing of the murder,
Tho blodo and bundle of tho blood

HAWAII CONDITIONS
ARE NOT ENCOURAGING
Industries of the Islands Hampered
by a Lack of Sufficient Capital
to Carry on Business.
By i:ehislcc Wire from The Associated Picct.
Washington, April 10 Governor Dole,
of Hawaii, arrived here today to confer
with the president, at the hitter's re
quest, regarding conditions in Hawaii,
pending legislation affecting the terri
tory and other matters. Governor Dole
said today:
"There Is some complaint among
business men of Hawaii on account of
the condition of the money market.
Ttntre nre no failures or assignments of
importance. The enterprises, however,
are too laige for the available capita'.
The Hawaiian governnient Is limited
by the revenues, which are inadequate
for carrying on necessary public Im
provements. The current revenues ore
sufficient only to curry out the admin
istration expenses. The last legislature
fulled to ciiact legislation for needed
loans. The country lost a large part of
the revenues at the beginning of the
territory by the transfer of the cus
toms revenues, amounting to about ?1,
200,000 to the federal government.
"Hut we are getting along. The ter
ritorial government is doing something
in the way, of public Improvements,
but not nearly so much as ought to be
done. The government has little money
in sight for payment of the fire claims
for buildings burned during the plague
epidemic in Honolulu In 1000."
